Dr. Chiarello’s current project centers on the U.S. overdose crisis, and her book Policing Patients: Treatment and Surveillance on the Frontlines of the Opioid Crisis examines how the fields of healthcare and criminal justice have used shared surveillance technology to address the crisis and how doing so has changed professional work and undermined patient care.
